Grants Pass council acknowledges 2024-5 CDBG CAPER, records program outcomes and expenditures
Summary
Council accepted the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) 2024-5 CAPER after staff presented expenditures and program accomplishments including eviction prevention, youth services and ADA improvements; no public comments were received and the council voted to acknowledge and accept the report.
Grants Pass City staff presented the City—s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) 2024-5 CAPER and the City Council voted to acknowledge and accept the report.
Bradley Clark, community development staff, told the council the city had $381,003.98 in regular CDBG funding plus prior-year carryover for a program total of $548,853. For the October 1, 2024—September 30, 2025 expenditure period staff reported $414,010 spent in program year 2024, including $209,335 for rehabilitation and housing, $56,580 for public facilities, $55,743 for public services, and $87,237 for administration and planning.
Clark highlighted outcomes the CAPER attributes to CDBG investments: seven households saved from eviction or utility loss; 1,213 youth served by combined partners (Boys & Girls Club, Hearts With a Mission, Maslow Project); 30 people assisted by Welcome Home in Oregon; 16 people supported with microenterprise training; and 354 people served by Saint Vincent de Paul—s mobile food kitchen. Clark also credited funding for an ADA-inclusive playground at Redwood Elementary School and security doors at the Boys & Girls Club.
Councilors asked staff to clarify HUD—s statutory 15% cap on public services; Clark summarized the cap—s history and confirmed public-service providers named in the CAPER. The public hearing was opened for final comments and no audience members addressed the CAPER.
Joel moved to acknowledge and accept the CAPER; Eric seconded. A roll-call vote returned approval and staff was given direction to implement and report as required by the program.
The council action was procedural: the CAPER documents the prior year—s expenditures and community outcomes and does not itself change program allocations. Staff will proceed with the recordation of the CAPER and required federal reporting.
